Hope Norwell wins by a decent margin. WR coach from CC spewing his crap on Twitter lately and not a big fan.

See we can play the 3 best teams in our Sectional if the games go as expected. Not sure if that's good or bad at this point.

Should seed sectionals or at least top half.

Required annual #SeedIt post!

I'll say I'd rather have an official shortage than some that are out there just for financial reasons. When a comment is made during a middle school game that the amount of pay determines their quality of officiating and youth officials making more than normal but are more concerned about getting games over faster than normal and forgetting whistles and location, I'd take a shortage. High school crew last year in a close sectional semi final (basically the final as 2 best teams were playing) giving a team 4 timeouts and then spending 5+ minutes to figure out spot & timing as well even after that and basically threw their hands up to say they still had no clue. Don't even get me started on the abomination today in Bloomington by a B1G crew that hurt both teams and the game as a whole. I'm thankful for those who are giving their best efforts and are out there for the right reasons (the kids!). I'm fine with errors, but you can tell the ones out there for additional income over doing it for the kids. Don't even want to hear the go sign up excuse as for the common rebuttal. I donate my time in multiple ways already with a young family.

My Jets should have held on to that lead last year but didn't.

If he doesn't, they score a 50 yd TD. All depends on the defensive alignment. Also depends on if the OL can get a push against the DL & ILBs

No I mean the DE to stay home and watch the QB to pull it out for an option. The DL and ILB will have control that FB. Triton got burned multiple times with DE crashing in on that FB.

If you've played football at AC, the defense hasn't ever really changed especially for DE responsibility. The one upperclassmen had been hurt, so I think that was part of his troubles. The other clearly had a few mental breakdowns. Both have cleaned it up the past couple of weeks, but I don't believe I've saw the Freshmen make a mental mistake in their place. The positive about those breakdowns were they were being aggressive when they occurred. Covenant Christian took advantage in the second half and Eastside had a bit the week before. The big concern I have is the AC kickoff coverage. NJ would take advantage of that big time.

That would be pretty dumb when you only have 7 schools in the conference with them. Honestly the best scenario would be for Southern Wells and Jay County to change up their districts a bit. Send more Pennville & Northwestern Jay County kids to Southern Wells. Jay County would benefit with lower enrollment as they'd compete in 3A more than 4A. Southern Wells would have more students and hopefully find some more athletes. Southern Wells ended my career on their way to semi state and we had tough battles the other 3 years that we (AC) held on. To me, that's like asking Woodlan to drop out right now or Heritage about 3 or so years ago. AC will have some drop off after this Freshmen class. The MS & youth need some work bc they lost a year or so to Covid.

Benson along with Cheyenne in the backfield with a big line. The QB has improved quite a bit as well. The DE's will have to play disciplined. The two upperclassmen at DE sometimes forget that. They took advantage of Triton's DEs last night when they forgot. Looking at a mirror image in some regards. Where I think the Jets will have an edge, is on offense with speed outside. Triton had some success with that. Still like our Jets, but it will be much different than last year's running clock.

NJ offense could give us problems in a semi state rematch.

Anyone else see MaxPreps is trying to predict a Carroll (Flora) vs Adams Central regional game? Sure it's an error, but was odd to see 11/11 scheduled on it.

Thought the AC vs SA game played out as expected. Thought SA played pretty well especially on offense when passing. Feel the AC lines were just more physical which was the difference. For AC, they have to fix the coverage breakdowns in the secondary as well as kickoff coverage.

Secondary could be challenged. However I'm not sure if the SA defense will have much success.

AC vs SA is going to feature strength vs weakness. AC has been good defensively overall, but the secondary has had moments of giving up plays. The guys back there for the most part are getting their first varsity action as Juniors. South Adams has a great passing offense. The question will be if AC's D line & LBs disrupt the SA QB. Now flip side, AC has ran over teams and at times SA has had trouble stopping the run or making tackles like they did last wee vs Jones of MC. AC has also added a passing game. SA secondary has been solid for the most part. I think this one may be closer than most think, but I do believe AC will prevail in the 2nd half.

MC looked to have big guys on the line bit they didn't move well. South Adams threw it well on them. MC just had Jones scramble and he is athletic. SA struggled at times to wrap him up. The Starfires got lackadaisical towards the end and MC made the score look closer than it really was.

I've been told that the Bellmont staff is banking on the freshmen class. That class has/had some talent. My question is if the administration is going to wait that long for things to turn around. The middle school teams actually played close games with AC this year. However those middle schoolers didn't get the full youth football experience. I know I've butted heads a bit with the Bellmont staff over the youth program that is/was shared with AC, but really do want them to succeed. The big problem has been prior coaches not wanting to unify the program from youth on up. They did bring in some quality guys to run the youth and middle school. I know I was one of a few blamed for hurting the Bellmont program bc AC's youth beating the Bellmont youth teams and thus a change occurred to join the Wells County league. Not sure either program has had any success in that Wells County league as I've been hands off since that change due to my stepkids playing sports in Ohio for their school.

Last I knew they were asking Heritage for permission. Highly doubt Heritage will let them as they didn't last week for SA game or week 1 for Bellmont.

Glad to see Coach Mosser went to the huddle during the timeout to address the sloppiness the Jets displayed vs Jay County. Heritage beating SA should have the Jets attention. I think AC wins, but not as easily as they expected.

Heritage pulls it off against the Starfires.

Does anyone know if FW Blackhawk Christian has plans for 11 man in the future. I saw they were on AC's middle school schedule. Could definitely see them as the next ACAC member if so.

EN (maybe closer than expected?) CC (another possible closer than expected) NH as this could go either way Norwell by how much mercy they are willing to show the Braves

AC SA Carroll Flora Bluffton Any talk of another team joining the conference? I mean Bellmont would benefit but won't. No benefit for Norwell to do it at all. What about Blackford? Doesn't bring much in competition for the top, but would benefit Jay County and Southern Wells. Probably not looking to leave the CIC though.
